Lamont Anderson embraced his 8-year-old son, Lamont Jr., at the West Calumet Housing Complex in East Chicago, Indiana. Lamont and other residents, most of them black — including 670 children — recently learned that much of the soil outside their homes contains staggering levels of lead, one of the worst possible threats to children’s health. The extent of the contamination came as a shock to residents, even though the complex is just north of a huge former lead smelting plant and on top of a smaller former smelting operation. After East Chicago's mayor announced plans last month to raze the complex and close an adjacent elementary school, many fearful residents are comparing their situation to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and asking why neither Indiana nor the federal @epagov told them sooner just how toxic their soil was. @alyssaschukar photographed Lamont and his son while on #nytassignment in East Chicago last week. Test results showed that the little boy has a worrisome amount of lead in his blood. The family moved to Gary, Indiana earlier this summer.
